GBF

The GBF is recognised by the Department of Basic Education and the provincial education departments as a key stakeholder and is regularly invited to participate in consultative forums at national, provincial and district level and to contribute its views on educational matters. While the GBF works alongside the education departments, it nevertheless maintains its status as an independent organisation... The Governing Body Foundation (GBF) is a service organisation that promotes sound governance in South African public schools... Founded in 1997, the GBF at present represents some 760 public schools in all nine South African provinces, with Head Office in Johannesburg and regional offices in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, and Port Elizabeth.
